The Rocky Horror Picture Show performance is at the Alberta Bair Theater, Sat., Oct. 31st at 8 p.m. The 1975 “R” rated cult classic movie starring Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Curry is a satirical tribute to science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1930s through the early ’70s. Although largely panned upon release, it soon gained notoriety as a midnight movie when audiences began participating with the film at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976.
